Your next step in sneaker care.
Meet UNCREASE, a sneaker-restoration device in development, designed to combine controlled heat and inflatable support to help reduce existing toe-box creases.
In development. Joining the waitlist is free.
The Product
Not another insert you wear.
Most shoe inserts sit inside your sneakers while you walk. UNCREASE is intended for use after wearing — inside an empty shoe, on a dedicated treatment cycle.
Wear your sneakers. Then give them dedicated care. UNCREASE is being designed to support the toe box from within while applying controlled heat during an automated treatment cycle.
Restoration-focused
Designed to address existing toe-box creases.
No insert under your toes
Used inside an empty shoe, not while walking.
Simple preset controls
Planned material-based programs instead of exposed pressure and temperature settings.
Design goals. Performance is still being tested.
How It Works
A simpler routine, by design.
- 01
Choose your insert
Select the appropriate size-range insert and connect it to the base.
- 02
Place it inside
Position the deflated insert inside the empty sneaker, with the hose entering through the collar.
- 03
Select a program
Choose a compatible material preset and start the treatment.
- 04
Let the cycle finish
The intended system manages inflation, heating, cooling, and deflation before removal.
The sequence and compatible materials remain subject to prototype testing. Nothing penetrates the shoe upper, and the device is never worn while walking.
Inserts & Controls
One base. Two interchangeable size ranges.
The planned kit pairs one wall-powered control unit with two silicone inserts, each covering a different shoe-size range. Each insert is intended to adapt to different compatible shoes within its eventual validated range — not custom-made for a single sneaker.
- Detachable twist-lock connection
- Combined air hose and electrical connection
- Flexible heating within the insert assembly
- Temperature and pressure monitoring
- Pump inflation and electrical heating as separate functions
Exact size ranges and compatibility are not yet finalized.
Leather. A planned preset intended for compatible smooth leather uppers.

What’s intended in the box.
Final contents may change.
